Them batteries can supply about 25 Amps X 12 Volts = 300 Watts each for two hours. So for the four a 1200 watt heater will only run 2 hours before...
Yah, it chaps my posterior that the APU manufacturers lie about fuel consumption at idle to sell their crap. Half a gallon an hour at idle is what...
You should be cruising at around 1350 rpms for decent fuel economy so that rear end gearing puts your "sweet spot" around 55 mph? If you are going...
The FLD 120 is a very reliable truck that is easy and cheap to fix. Make sure you have carriers up there that will sign on an older truck - pretty...
Only to track...
Garmins are MUCH better at truck routing than Tom-Tom's. You can tell the Garmin you are in a truck and also tell it to avoid u-turns, dirt roads,...
I have a Garmin C320 (upgraded to a C330 by adding a $10 sdcard) and it is plenty loud enough as long as the radio isn't blasting. I drive a 1995...
1. Yes 2&3. It's hard to get much to come out - I just drain a couple ounces and verify that it looks. feels and smells OK. You really shouldn't...
Most trucks have no crossover these days. Each tank has its own supply and return line. The supply lines are "T"ed together and simple physics...
The container companies will sign on ANYTHING! I saw one COE that was covered in duct tape and the owner had the motor apart just outside the gate...
I put a 1995 with 900k on it on the road just when ULSD came out and am still running the same fuel filters it came with - no problems with stuff...
Any chance of you summerizing those tests for us? The only obvious economy using propane fumigation would give you is that you can find propane...
I'm pretty sure it uses the same routing data as all the other Garmins - so no, it probably doesn't know about weight and height restrictions.
You can get the engine RPMS down faster if you float with the Jake on low. If you don't know how to float you can try a "half float" where you...
One thing that bothers me a bit about propane fumigation systems is that the air compressor usually gets its air from the intake manifold where it...
I just ordered a Garmin C320 from outpost dot com to replace my Garmin I2 (see my earlier post in this thread). It adds color and a larger screen...
Do you think that being an O/O makes you less a slave - I think most so called O/Os are more a slave! As a company driver you can move to a new...
Another thing - the old school drivers thought you were a wimp if you refused to jump off of a trailer or dock and instead eased your way down or...
I guy I know was running containers into the city up here in the northeast with a "Freightliner Select" factory refurbished tandem sleeper to...
Actually not - What they now make as an overdrive tranny is called an RTO but in reality they stopped making the RTO and renamed the RTX(O) to RTO...
